Use only a three-wire grounding type power source. The power source should not exceed 250 volts rms between the supply conductors or between either conductor and the ground.

iii

S a f e t y S u m m a r y

Power Cord

Use only the power cord that was shipped with the projector.

Although other power cords might be similar in appearance, they have not been safety-tested with the projector. Do not use a power cord if it has become damaged or frayed. Contact your In

Focus dealer or call In Focus if you need to replace your power cord.

Grounding

The projector is grounded through the grounding conductor on the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.

Fuse

For continued protection against the risk of fire, use only the specified fuse. It must be a time delay, high breaking capacity

5x20mm fuse with the following amperages: for 6.3amp use

T6.3AH, for 8amp use T8AH. Refer to page 42 for more information about fuse specifications and to page 33 for instructions on replacing the fuse.

Lamp

To avoid overheating and unacceptable image quality, replace the projection lamp with a lamp of the specified type. Refer to page 41 for lamp specifications and to page 31 for instructions on replacing the lamp.

Lamp Compartment

To avoid burns, do not open the lamp module door until the projector is turned off and the lamp has cooled. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement carefully.

Hot Surfaces

Allow the projector to cool at least 45 minutes before replacing a lamp. When you open the lamp housing, be very careful not to touch the hot surfaces inside.

iv

Ventilation and Overheating

Openings in the projector case provide ventilation to protect it from overheating. Keep loose papers and other objects well away from the bottom, top and side grills. Do not place the projector on top of or close to a computer or other heat-producing equipment.

Liquid Spills

Do not set drinks on top of the projector. Spilled liquids can flow inside and cause damage.

Do Not Disassemble

All service must be performed by an authorized In Focus service center. The only user-serviceable parts in the projector are the projection lamp, which you can replace by opening the lamp cover on the bottom of the projector (see page 31) and the fuse.

Do not open any other part of the projector. If your projector needs repair, call In Focus Technical Support as described on page 3. Before you call Technical Support, you may want to refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 36 to see if you can resolve the problem yourself.

Don’t Set the Projector on its Lens

To protect the lens when you are transporting the projector, adjust the lens so it is fully retracted (turn it clockwise) before you pack it.

Place the projector in its carrying case with the lens facing upwards. You may damage the projector if you set it on its lens.

NOTE: If you open the projector case, you will void the warranty.

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. The LP 225 uses a metal halide bulb. These types of bulbs deteriorate over time. Replace the lamp when the brightness is no longer acceptable. You can order new lamp modules from your In Focus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 43 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

1

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

2

Wait 45 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.

3

Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screw on the

outside of the lamp door (Figure 22).

4

Pull the lamp cover up and remove it.

WARNING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before you open the lamp module door. Never extract the lamp module while the lamp is operating.

To reset the lamp hour counter in the Status bar, press and hold both Brightness buttons for 5-10 seconds. Verify that the counter was reset by pressing the menu button and viewing the counter.

Replacing the Fuse

A power line surge or spike can blow the power supply fuse, causing the projector to stop working. If this happens, you’ll need to replace the fuse.

The projector ships with a 6.3 amp fuse. The correct replacement fuse depends on the power line voltage in the country where you are operating the projector.

•

If your line voltage is 115V to 240V, use a T6.3AH, 250V,

5x20mm fuse.

•

If your line voltage is 100V to 115V (as in Japan), use a T8AH,

250V, 5x20mm fuse. You can order the fuse from your In Focus dealer; the part number is listed on page 44.

After you make sure that the condition that made the fuse blow no longer exists, follow these steps to replace the fuse:

1

Turn off the projector by pressing the “O” side of the power switch.

2

Unplug the power cord.

3

Remove the fuse holder, located just above the power cord connector. Pull out the fuse holder with a small, flat-blade

screwdriver, key or coin (Figure 25).

CAUTION: Use only the specified power supply fuse. Using a different fuse may damage the projector.

CAUTION: The 6.3A IEC 127 type fuse is required in Europe. In countries with low main voltage, you may need the 8.0A fuse to avoid repeated (nuisance) blowing of the 6.3A fuse. Both fuses provide protection from risk of fire. Do not use the projector if repeated blowing still occurs after switching to the 8.0A fuse. Call In Focus

Technical Support for assistance.

M a i n t e n a n c e & T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g

NOTE: Macintosh computers require a specific power-up sequence: the projector must be turned on before you turn on the computer.

Troubleshooting

If you’re experiencing trouble with the projector, follow these steps to make sure everything is properly connected before you call Technical Support for assistance.

1

Check cable connections. Verify that all computer and power cables are properly connected.

2

Verify that all power is switched on.

3

Verify that the projector has not been switched off with the

standby

button on the keypad.

4

If the projector still doesn’t display an image, restart the computer.

5

If the problem still exists, unplug the projector from the computer and check the computer monitor’s display. The maximum resolution that the 225 can display is 1024x768 pixels, preferably 800x600. The problem might be with the graphics controller in your computer rather than with the projector.

When you reconnect the projector, remember to turn the computer and monitor off before you power up the projector.

Power the equipment back up in this order: projector, monitor, computer.

6

If you’re using a laptop computer and its monitor is not displaying your presentation, make sure you have re-activated the computer’s monitor. Most laptop computers de-activate their own monitor when a second display device, such as the projector, is connected. Refer to page 45 for more information.

7

If the problem still exists, read through the problems and solutions in this chapter.

If you call Technical Support for assistance:

•

Find out what kind of graphics controller card is installed in your computer. This is the circuit board in the computer to which the projector is connected.

36

Tracking” on page 25.

•

The problem could be with your computer’s graphics board. If possible, connect another computer with a different graphics board.

Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video player’s colors

•

Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display menu. Just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. See “Brightness” on page 16,

“Tint” on page 21 and “Contrast” on page 21.

Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer

•

The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for a

long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 31.

Problem: Lamp shuts off

•

A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the projector off, wait at least 45 seconds, then turn it back on.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer

When you turn video mirroring on (called SimulScan in newer

PowerBooks-see below), the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.

To turn on video mirroring for the first time:

1

Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.

2

Set the number of colors you want.

3

Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.

4

Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”

Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control

Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.

When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:

1

Turn off video mirroring.

2

Open the Monitors control panel.

3

Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the primary monitor.

4

Restart the PowerBook.

Using SimulScan

Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using

SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook

To select SimulScan:

1

Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and

Sound.

2

In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click

OK.

3

If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.

Click OK to confirm the change.
